Days After Miscarriage, Lily Allen Rushed to Hospital

By Christine Fenno Posted Nov 6th 2010 10:29AM

Approximately one week after her pregnancy ended in heartbreak with a miscarriage, singer Lily Allen was rushed to a hospital in an ambulance Friday night, requiring emergency treatment for septicaemia (blood poisoning), according to WENN news outlet.

The London native, 25, was six months' pregnant when she suffered her second miscarriage last weekend.

The Grammy nominee was reportedly recovering at home this week, and on Friday, she thanked fans via Twitter for the outpouring of support (including tweets from Katy Perry and Justin Bieber), adding, "I'm still very sick but the messages are helping me to be stronger."

But hours after posting that message, she was hospitalized. A statement issued by her rep indicates that she is responding well to treatment: "Her condition continues to improve."

An insider informed the U.K.'s Daily Mail, "Lily had been recuperating at home with Sam and her family, but she has been taken back to hospital and is getting the best care possible at the moment. Everyone is extremely concerned, but she is in the best place and luckily she was admitted quickly. Lily needs time to recover in privacy."

Allen and her 31-year-old boyfriend Sam Cooper went public in August with the news that they were expecting.

If she was six months pregnant then she did NOT have a miscarriage. She had a stillbirth.

That was a misprint. She was only 6 weeks. So it was a miscarriage.

Uh...no, meaghan. She announced in early August that she was three months along. Stop making stuff up and then presenting it as factual.

By Gail

No, she wasn't 6 weeks. She was 6 months and yes that's called preterm labor, not a miscarriage, when one is over 20 weeks

By Emily

THANK YOU!! I was going to post the same thing. I wish people would be more informed before they wrote stuff like this. How hard is it to have the correct terminology!!

The term stillbirth is used when a mother delivers the baby dead. She had a miscarriage. Lily was never in labor and there was no birth.

Why are you people concentrating on whether it was a miscarriage or a stillbirth? The point is, the family lost their child. My heart goes out to them and I hope this doesn't stop them from trying again. Good luck Lily and Sam. I hope your grief heals quickly and may God bless you with a healthy baby in the future.

Just like a bunch of girls, always a conflict.

By newenglandrose33

Yes, this is the death of her baby. God bless you, Lily. Cannot imagine how much pain she is in, physically and emotionally.

By Colleen

It's not a miscarriage that far along, it's a stillbirth.

By New York

Regardless she lost a baby & I've been through the same thing & six weeks or six months it is still just as emotionally traumatic. I wish her well & a speedy recovery. Just want you to know Lily that after I had my miscarriages I proceeded to have three more healthy pregnancies. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

By Sue

1st 20 weeks is miscarriage after that it is considered a stillbirth.

By felicia

God Bless her and her boyfriend, truly hope she is able to get well, and finally be able to carry her next baby to term, Get Well Soon!

By pearl

It should not matter how far along she was. It was their baby. The grief is still the same. My heart and prayers go out to them and their families. I know what they are going thru. I lost my baby 26 years ago and to this day I wonder what she would of been and how her life would be. I lost her on my husbands birthday. I miss you Montana Raine.

By kathie

Seriously??You people are arguing about the correct term for this tragedy rather than wishing everyone a speedy recovery and peace in their grief ?

Shame on you.

By valeskas

I do not care what it was, she needs our sympathy.

By Linda

OH BUT IT IS A MISACARRIAGE THAT FAR ALONG! BEING A MOM OF FIVE KIDS I KNOW MY STUFF AND I RESEARCHED IT TO MAKE SURE I WAS RIGHT ON THIS. LISTEN UP... IT IS CONSIDERED A MISCARRIAGE. IF A BABY DIES IN THE WOMB AT ANY TIME DURING PREGNANCY BEFORE IT IS BORN IT IS A MISCARRIAGE. IF A BABY DIES DURING BIRTH IT IS STILL BORN. SO IT IS AND WAS A MISCARRIAGE. SO TO THOSE WHO SAY OTHERWISE..YOU ARE MISTAKEN.

By Mrs. R

No one cares that you need to be right.

By george

EXCELDA...you are a real witch. My gosh, how about something more appropriate like: Lily, our sympathies are extended to you. Instead you want to dump on someone???? Here is the definition:

A fetus that dies while in the uterus after about the 20–24th week of pregnancy is termed a "stillbirth"; the precise gestational age definition varies by country.

Incorrect if you are in the USA. The legal term is miscarriage unless there is a labor involved which there was NOT.
